North Webster Public Library Announcements
Come hear one woman’s personal story of her family’s escape from East Germany and their eventual journey to the United States when the North Webster library’s Local History and Genealogy Center hosts Roswitha Karin Witmer at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 5.
Born in East Germany, Karin will share her history of escape from communism, taking refuge with a farmer in West Germany, her family’s immigration to the United States, and her love for her adopted country. The public is invited to attend and hear her fascinating story.
If you’re wanting a few inches to escape from your waistline, join us for “weigh and walk” when the Lose It @ The Library weight loss support group meets to weigh in and walk the community center corridors during our weekly meeting at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 4, at 5:30. The following Monday, an educational program about exercise, “What Is Out There for Us,” will follow weigh-in.
The popular Make and Take Card Class takes place at 10 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 7. Instructor Jan Biehl will demonstrate how to design and create your own original greeting cards. There is a $7 class fee to take the class, but you get to take home all the cards you make in class, plus you’ll have lots of fun doing it.
The American Library Association has declared November National Picture Book Month. Celebrate with us by sharing a picture book with your child.
